But what does this have to do with her
Yu Tang was dumbfounded, and said: "Father, can't you speak clearly? It was so early in the morning, and there was no one to explain, so you called me back and scared me!" She said, patting her chest .
Yu Wen chuckled, and glanced at Pei Yan who was standing beside him with a cold face.
Pei Yan used to be able to pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of Yu Wen, but now it is not so good. He had no choice but to salute Yu Wen, and said, "Then I'll sit in the courtyard for a while, and taste your treasured Biluochun," before leaving the hall.
Yu Wen felt at ease, pointed at Yu Tang immediately, and said in a low voice, "You are stupid! Why did you bring Pei Xiaguang back? Jiang Chao's boat should be distributed to our family, and I am going to give you all as a dowry of."
Now that Yu Tang brought Pei Yan back, not to mention exposing the family's money, he originally planned to quietly prepare a rich box of money for Yu Tang as his own money, but now he can't hide it.
Yu Wen couldn't help admonishing Yu Tang: "Just be careful! The Pei family will definitely not want your money, but you always have expenses that you don't want Pei Xiaguang to know about, and you can't let him know about everything!"
Yu Tang felt that Pei Yan attracted her not only because of her good looks, but also because she had enough respect for her personality. If Pei Yan can't even tolerate this, even if they are husband and wife, they are also a couple who treat each other with respect, so what's the point
But she doesn't want to argue with her parents about this.
No matter how much you say, it is better to do well to make them feel at ease.
She smiled and teased her father: "Then how much private money do you have, does my mother know?"
Yu Wen was taken aback for a moment, then he puffed out his chest proudly, and said, "Do I still need to hide my private money? All the money at home is mine."
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled straight at his father.
Yu Wenwei sighed, and said, "Since you have such confidence in Pei Xiaguang, then it's up to you."
In his bones, there was a kind of boldness of "returning after all the money is gone", and he felt that if he could see clearly what kind of person Pei Yan was because of the dowry, it would not be too late to suffer.
Yu Tang hugged his father's arm and acted coquettishly: "I know you care about me, don't worry, the third master is not that kind of person. Even if you don't believe my eyes, you still have to believe in the Pei family's family style! "
Sure enough, Yu Wen was not as nervous as before.
Yu Tang asked about the boat trip this time: "Master Jiang is safe there? Is there anything wrong? How to deal with the goods brought back this time? Did you entrust those grocery stores to sell them? Next time Are you still a partner when you go to sea? Have you talked to Master Jiang about what the third master said before?"
All in all, there are many questions.
Yu Wen didn't hide it from Yu Tang, and told her: "According to the ratio of the previous investment, the goods on the ship were divided and disposed of separately. I discussed with Master Wu. For our share, we need some precious jewels for you. Dowry. The rest will be converted into silver and handed over to Mr. Wu. In this way, your dowry can be prepared. Fortunately, Mr. Wu helped a lot and asked Mrs. Wu to come over to help your mother. I I'm staying with you for a few days, just to let you and your mother finalize the dowry list. If you don't have it in Lin'an, you can go to Hangzhou to buy it; I still can't get away for a while. I discussed it with Master Wu, let's go to Ningbo, and at the same time reveal Pei Xiaguang's meaning to Jiang Chao, and see what he means."
Such an arrangement is great.
Yu Tang said: "Then I will stay."
It's not easy to leave all the dowry and so on to her mother's work.
Yu Wen knew from Mrs. Chen that Mr. Pei Lao'an was teaching Yu Tang how to manage the house, he was very grateful in his heart, and he naturally supported him very much. Hearing this, he waved his hands again and again, and said: "Since Mr. Pei Lao'an didn't let you come back, you should not come back for now, and let's talk about the matter with Mr. Pei Lao'an. She is a person who has gone through the incident, what should she do?" , what not to do, you must have a plan in mind, you just listen to her old man. Besides, preparing for dowry should not be something you should worry about in the first place."
How about the words of parents' orders and matchmaker's words
Yu Tang nodded slightly.
Yu Wen went to invite Pei Yan in for tea, and told Pei Yan his plan.
Pei Yan guessed that the Yu family would definitely do everything possible to help Yu Tang buy the dowry, but he didn't expect that Yu Wen would give Yu Tang all the family's belongings. He suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, and respectfully said to Yu Wen: "You Treat Ms. Yu as the apple of your eye and the flesh of your heart, and I will definitely not disappoint your daughter-loving heart. From now on, the affairs on your side will be mine. I will help Miss Yu's siblings, nephews and grandchildren. Helping them learn to read and write, and taking care of their careers.”
Seeing that Pei Yan understood his intentions, Yu Wen was very happy, and asked Mrs. Chen to go outside and order a table to treat Pei Yan to a drink.
It was difficult for Pei Yan to refuse, but Yu Tang stopped him: "The old man will only get rid of his clothes in September!"
Yu Wen blamed himself, changed the name to Vegan Banquet, replaced wine with tea, kept Pei Yan for lunch, and then Pei Yan went back.
It's just that as soon as he entered the mansion, he was called by Pei Lao'an.
"It's a good thing, so don't worry about it." The old man asked, "What's a good thing?"
In the end, I still don't worry.
Pei Yan didn't want Yu Tang to be a target, so he dismissed the people serving Pei Lao'an, and then told Pei Lao'an about Yu Wen's intentions.
Mr. Pei Lao'an was stunned, he glanced at Pei Yan quietly, and said: "You are also a lucky child. Although Mrs. Yu came from an ordinary background, she did not hold you back. From now on, you will indeed treat Mrs. Yu Be nicer, be nicer to the people of the Yu family."
Pei Lao'an was in a similar situation to Yu Tang back then.
Her elder brother died young, and Yu Tang was the only child.
Both of them married to Pei's family helplessly, and brought most of the family's property with them, and when Mrs. Qian went, she left all the money in her hands to her grandson.
People in Pei Lao'an believed that when Yu Wen drove west, if he still had money in his hands, he would definitely leave it to his grandson.
She told Aunt Chen: "Go and get the list I wrote a few days ago."
Aunt Chen went to get the list.
Mr. Pei Lao'an sent her away, went to grind the ink himself, and added a dozen shops in Tianjin Wei to the list, and then gave the list to Pei Yan, saying: "It turns out that it is going to be given to Yu Yu. She is saving face, although her family has prepared for her now, but there are some things that cannot be bought with money. I still give them to you, and you can give them to Yu Shi when you have time."
Pei Yan had long guessed that Pei Lao'an would not let Yu Tang in just because of his own face, but he did not expect that Pei Lao'an would give Yu Tang the dozen or so shops in Tianjin Wei.
You know, this is the dowry of Pei Lao'an's own mother, that is, Pei Yan's grandmother. The dozen or so shops are on the busiest street in Tianjin Wei, and the annual income is very considerable.
Pei Yan couldn't help but knelt down in front of her mother, called "Mom", and said, "You still want to keep this shop? If you really feel sorry for Mrs. Yu, just subsidize her with some money every year. Her share , I will prepare it for her."
He and Yu Tang will be husband and wife in the future, even if it is given to Yu Tang as a dowry, it will be a matter of left hand and right hand, unlike Pei Lao'an, the property in their hands should be shared equally by the three brothers.
Seeing his son's filial piety, Mr. Pei Lao'an smiled gratifiedly, motioned Pei Yan to stand up quickly, and said: "I know all these things in my heart. As for you, you have been wronged, and your father and I can only make up for it in money. You have some. Your sister-in-law has never cared about me, and I presumably won’t care about my things, so I won’t dislike her. I won’t treat her badly at your second sister-in-law. Just take it with confidence. .However, when Mrs. Yu married, there must be many eyes staring at her. In order to avoid trouble, don't say anything about what I gave you. If you really love me, just show me more filial piety in the future." Speaking of this , she sighed with a wry smile, "I never thought that when I was old, I would actually live with my son."
Logically, she should follow the eldest son.
Pei Yan was heartbroken, and she didn't have a good impression of the eldest wife and her two nephews, Pei Tong and Pei Fei.
He simply discussed with Pei Lao'an: "If my sister-in-law wants to go back to her natal home, let her go back to her natal home. The fragrance is far away and the smell is near. When Pei Tong and Pei Fei grow up and know what the Pei family means to them, they will naturally I know how to choose. Maybe at that time, it will be too late for my sister-in-law to regret it!"
Pei Lao'an was terrified when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Xia Guang, you promised your father that if you don't participate in royal affairs, you can't break your promise!"
"I won't break my promise!" Pei Yan assured her mother, "But I am also sure that I can suppress Pei Tong and Pei Fei. You have to trust my ability."
"One more thing is worse than one less thing!" Pei Lao'an trusted her husband the most, and believed in the old master Pei's advice to her before his death.
"I know." Pei Yan reassured Pei Lao'an again and again, and accompanied his mother to miss Mr. Pei for a while, and then he comforted his mother, and served his mother to the Buddhist hall to copy scriptures, and then Pei Lao'an came out. yard.
Yu Tang stayed at home for three days before he drew up his dowry list. During this period, he even talked to Aunt Chen who was ordered by Pei Laoan to bring her ice, and referred to the eldest wife's The dowry is settled.
After it was decided, she realized how trivial it was to prepare the dowry.
Even the brooms for sweeping the bed should be prepared in pairs.
Yu Tang seemed to flee and went back to Pei's summer resort.
Yu Wenze and Mr. Wu went to Ningbo. When they left, Mr. Wu said to Yu Tang: "Let's go and see if there are any Western gadgets. I will bring you some Western gadgets as a dowry. There must be none in Lin'an City." seen."
That's the show!
Yu Tang didn't take it seriously, but Yu Wen thought it was very good, and murmured with Master Wu for a long time.
At the end of July, when the autumn wind picked up and the weather started to turn cold, Yu Tang and the others began to pack their luggage and prepare to go down the mountain.
At this time, Li Duan quietly returned to Lin'an City with his mother, Mrs. Lin.
Li Yi was sentenced to exile in the end. Li Jun was unwilling to return to Lin'an. The Lin family was still thinking about revitalizing the family business and had to let Li Duan continue the imperial examination. Li Jun accompanied Li Yi to Gansu where he was exiled. Lin returned to her hometown to deal with some unsold property in the family, and planned to move to Hangzhou for a long time.
